Pandora bracelets... continued!!!

[maria1978]

And finally (you'll be pleased to hear!), it's my yellow themed bracelet which is still a work in progress. Actually i'm a bit stuck what else to put on it...if anyone has any ideas i'd be most grateful

Hmm...not sure it's the best picture, but i've got the queen bee, teapot with gold top, lion with yellow cz eyes, panda and the swan (among others of course!)

I can't for the life of me figure out how to imbed an image. Can I not link directly to my online photo gallery? If I type in the link as I do on other forums, only the text shows up.

So then I uploaded to my album on this forum and yet when I copy and paste the link from my album only the text shows up, not the image.

Frustrating.

I'm doing it thru photobucket, are you?

Oooh, just bought a new bead online...the t-shirt with the gold heart I've wanted that for a wee while and resistance is futile!!
I've decided that when my yellow one is full up, that's me done. No more. Yikes...hope it'll take a while to fill up tho!!

Well i stopped at 2 full ones and i still have an empty leather Pandora lariat which i'd like to fill. I think yours is lovely- not sure what to do with mine yet?! Something maybe to compliment my Pink 2 tone Pandora- which i wear the most.

I finished it off properly this week as it had a gap on one side and i was waiting to get a special Gold bead for a special occasion but gave in and got the 2 tone flowers bead- It's a bit like a large spacer- do u know the one i mean- codes aren't to hand.

Think i'd like a few for Christmas- the snowman and the Christmas tree but i'll see. The Christmas Tree would be nice on yours too- in fact the yellow ones i've seen posted on here in the past had lot's of 2 tone beads cause the yellow really brings out the Yellow gold on the bracelet and they look beautiful. So i'd try and concentrate on 2 tones or if u can afford the few golds- take your time over it if it's your last- u'll enjoy it even more.

Oh and btw the more pictures the better- glad what i said made sense :o)

bettz1, your girlfriend is very lucky, have a word with my other half, he doesn't understand my Pandora "obsession" (as he calls it...I refuse to admit he's right!)
And i'd opt for getting her another charm, personally...there's a two-tone bead with "I love you" on it, and the heart is in gold, that's gorgeous!

Pandoraholic, it took me ages to decide on my lariat...i thought bronze/gold/wooden beads - i went into my Pandora store and played about with those and it looked great with the leather, really neutral colours too. But if you want something to tone in with your pinks, thats a pretty useless idea really!!

I'm loving your advice on my yellow bracelet...I think gold/two-tone would look stunning. I want to go home and re-arrange NOW (i'm at work). I'm thinking of taking the gold heart and snake off my pink, rearranging the pink so its just silver & pink, then putting just yellow, gold & two-tone on the yellow. I'm sooo excited about being home tonight, lol! So, thank you Pandoraholic
And you're right, it is my last, so i will take more time on it...it'll probably cost more, but i'm not going to feel the need to buy a bead or three every week (i hope!), so it'll cost less in the short term. If that makes sense!!

Maria 1978-- I have always like the Tree of Life bead with all of the yellow beads. Concentrating on gold and two-tone beads sounds like a great idea. There are a lot of lovely two-tones. They are my absolute favorite category of Pandora beads! In one of the last Pandora catalogs, the Pandora designers used a lot of yellow beads in the pictures throughout the catalog. You might find some more inspiration there.

Maria-Your creations are fab. Your posts are fun to read!

I have been shopping shopping y'know buy one for someone buy one for you.
I have noticed people are frustrated with the leather bracelets rolling. I enjoy the flowing and I luv luv luv sliding the beads back into position. I realized I took my pretty beads for granted when I wear my set traditional Pandora bracelets. I posted some of my new creations (Leather & Wood) on the picture thread.
I layer a single and a double.My shoppe owner suggested it since I wear 2 traditionals.I tend to wear the leathers on the weekends and my traditionals to work, but I think I will wear them constantly in the summer (short sleeves).
And lastly ladies hit up your regular shoppes, I frequent 2 shoppes they said Merry Christmas to me with gifts one with a beige jewelry box and the other gave me the Pandora ornament. I think I spent 50.-60. at each place but boy did I feel like a appreicated customer!

 

[maria1978]

thanks for the ideas givemegold, i'm definately going with the two-tones with my yellow...i'm cleaning all the beads on the yellow and pink bracelets tonight for a major re-shuffle And i do like the tree of life too, it would look great on my bracelet. I'm really wanting the two-tone clutch purse next tho. Aaah, so much choice.
Hmmm...is it right that a sane (nearly) woman of 31 should be this excited about her bracelets??? Worrying...

I'm glad you like my babies, Using_Daddys_$$ I saw your beautiful wood on the other thread, that really is stunning. You're sooo right about taking the beads for granted... i look, but i don't look, if you know what i mean. And they deserve way much more than a passing glance, they deserve to be worshipped!!

Hmm, wonder if they'll do gifts in the shops here in the UK...i'm off work on Thursday, may have to go see. Any excuse, right?!

Maria a year ago when I 1st got a Pandora, presents/gifts from the shops here were NEVER mentioned. I have since had discounts of 10% off on a few occasions, a Pandora Jewelery box, a Pandora Keychain, a free silver bead (from Gillets an online store for Australian customers) and most of these were only ever offered when i was spending at least a few hundered in one transaction.

So when i went to my local Jeweller a few days ago and bought just one lonely 2 tone bead- I was shocked and GREATFUL to receive a 10% discount (about $7 but better than nothing) and a lovely boxed Pandora Manicure Set. I think they must have appreciate the $1000's i've spent in there this year- LOL

Maria do have a look through the other Pandora Picture Thread- there are 2 beautiful Yellow and 2 tone bracelets shown on the thread- i'll see if i can find them now.

I'm 30 and was (maybe still am) OBSESSED with Pandora- i know exactly where u are coming from and unfortunately I think they need the equivilent of AA meetings- PA meetings! LOL

 

[Using_Daddys_$$]

Pandoraholic-Good for you, on your goodies! PA meetings too funny!!!! I like what we all do, we enable each other!:devil:

I am venting a bit....I went to pandora-jewelry.com they changed the site and ERASED all my designs, wishlist and my jewelry catalogue.It's totally different,

Wow, you've been lucky with your goodies!! I tend to go to two stores...the 'Gold' stockist is nearer me, but i prefer the concept store...maybe i should concentrate my affections on one or the other, see if they'll appreciate me by showering me with freebies too! lol!

I've been looking through the pictures thread, and i did see some gorgeous yellow and two tone bracelets, thats definately the route for me. Oh, and i saw your bracelets, my god they're beautiful I swear i drooled. A lot. And i dont think i'm finished drooling yet!!
I sorted out my pink bracelet tonight, got the gold onto the yellow one, and they're both looking good
Off to bed now to dream of gold topped christmas trees, gold safety chains and clutch purses...sigh!

See you at the next PA meeting!

Can't wait to see the pics- can u post one with your new small RTT tag bead bracelet to. I'm thinking of getting one of those myself but want to see what it would look like with my Pandora.

Thanks x

Pandoraholic,

Here are a few pics of my 2 tone Pandora bracelet with the Tiffany & Co. RTT Bead Bracelet. Its very small but I really love it layered with my Pandora and watch.

Since you are all experts here I am wondering if any of you have heard of a Pandora bead that is a top hat with "200 years" written on it. I saw the one with HCA on it but have never seen the Alice in Wonderland bead. Thanks for the help.
